SEWING-MACHINE LAMP-SUPPORT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 17, 1912.

Application filed September 9, 1911. Serial No. 648,461.

1'0 all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, ELLA SCHAAK, a citizenof the United States, residing at Rapid City, in the county ofPennington and State 5 of South Dakota, have invented new and usefulImprovements in Sewing-Machine Lamp-Supports, of which the following isa specificatlon.

This invention relates to supporting devices for lamps, the supportbeing especially adaptable for sewing machines, whereby the light can beadjusted to any point most convenient to the seamstress.

The invention has for one of itsobjects to provide an inexpensive,practical, and efiec- -tive device of this character which can bereadily applied to orremoved from a sewing machine in such a manner asnot to interfere with the work. y

Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved lampsupport which is adjustable on an arm of a sewing machine to throw thelight to'any desired point, the said support having novel means forholding the lamp.

With these objects in view, and others,

- as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention comprisesthe various novel features of construction and arrangement of partswhich will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth withparticularity in the claims appended hereto.

In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate one embodiment of the inention:-Figure 1 is a front view of a sewing machine lamp support. Fig.2 is a side view thereof. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the sewingmachine arm embracing clip. Fig. 4 is a slde view of a modifiedform ofthe device. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the attaching clip.

Similar reference characters are employed to designate correspondingparts throughout the several views. I

Referring to the drawings, A designates a sewing machine from the arm 1of which is mounted the lamp-supporting device B. This device includes astandard 2, which has its lower end seated in a clip or attaching device3, which is in the form of a band encircling the arm, 1 of the sewingmachine, the ends of the band bein bent into lugs 4. Through these lugspass 0 amping screws 5, which can be removedto permit the clip to betaken off the arm 1, and in these lugs are openings 6 for receiving thelower end of the standard 2. The standard is prevented from having freerotation on the device 3 by being provided with a collar 7 that hasteeth 8 on its under side, which engage with teeth 9 on the top lug ofthe device 3. By merely raising the standard sufliciently to disengagethe teeth 8 from the teeth 9, the standard can be turned about its axisto adjust the lamp to any desired point, and then merely by allowing thestandard to lower, the teeth will become engaged and thus hold thestandard in place. The upper end of the standard is formed intolaterally extending arms or members 10, which serve to suspend the lampC, which, in the present instance, 18 shown as an ordinary kerosenelamp.

The lamp suspending means consists of a cup 11 in which the bowl 12 ofthe lamp is seated, and this cup is provided with chains 13 that areattached by links 14 to the outer extremities of the arms 10. The chains13 have hooks 13' at their u per ends which engage in openings 14 in t elower ends of the links so that the parts-tare detachably connected, theglobe or chimney 15 of the lamp being disposed between the'said linksand suspendingchains. If desired, a shade 16 may be employed for thelamp, the same being supported on a bracket 17, riveted to the standard,and extending downwardly under the arms 10. The lower end of thisbracket 17 has an upwardly extending finger or lug 18 that engages in asocket 19 on the shade so as to permit the latter to be removed whendesired.

In the form of the device shown in Figs. a and 5, the standard 20 ismounted in an attaching clip 21 so that the standard will be adjustableas in the first form. The standard, however, is formed at its upper endwith an arched arm 22 that terininates in a hook 23 over which anelectric that such changes may be .made when desired as are within thescope of the claims. What I claim as new and desire to secure byLettersPatent is 1. A device of the class described comprising astandard, means for attaching the standard-to a sewing machine,laterally extending arms on the standard, depending links on the arms,chains connected with the lower ends of the links, and a lamp holdersuspended by theehains.

2. A device of the class described comprising a standard, an element formounting the standard on a support, interlocking members between thestandard and element to; hold the standard against turning, laterally"extending arms on the standards, links attached to the outer ends of thesaid arms and depending therefrom, a lamp hol'der, means for suspendingthe holder from the said links a bracket on t he standard and ex-'tending under the arms, and a shade detachably mounted on the bracket.

, 3. Adevice of .the class described comprising a band for embracing thearm of a sewing machine frame, the said band terminating to providelaterally extending spaced and for the purpose described.

In. testimony whereof I aliix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
